    Anyone getting redirected after clicking links from Twitter/Facebook?

    E.g. Clicking a link from Nike's Twitter (or any legit sites twitter/FB) and then go to load the legitimate link for a few seconds, then get redirected to a page saying
    Congratulations Android User!

    I know this happened before for Three/Vodafone/Meteor/Eir customers on android and Apple devices. It was then sorted and seems to be back now!

    Had this on the Sky News app last week. Installed Norton and Malwarebytes, rebooted and no issues since.

    nexus 5/meteor/vodafone is the isp

    Might add something to that, what brand is your router? is it Huawei by any chance?

    Nope, its the Eircom F1000 modem, Zyxel seems to be the brand.

    This happened before affecting a lot of "Boardsies", across all the networks and different devices (Android and iOS).

    Been happening to me for the last few days, including links from boards to the likes of daft.ie.

    I'm running on a Nexus 5 on Meteor. Haven't been installing anything on my phone that's not from Google play and only been playing standard media file formats.
